SUNTECH New breakthrough in environmental protection New Win-Win model for “photovoltaic + water affairs"

A total of 101,234 Suntech high-efficiency polycrystalline double-glass modules have been installed in a
project in Huiji District, Zhengzhou, Henan Province. The project can generate about 36.74 million kWh of

and energy structure optimization. combination of photovoltaic power generation and sewage treatment will become an important model for
the future development of the sewage treatment industry.
